Pull MM updates from Andrew Morton:

 - The series "zram: optimal post-processing target selection" from
   Sergey Senozhatsky improves zram's post-processing selection
   algorithm. This leads to improved memory savings.

 - Wei Yang has gone to town on the mapletree code, contributing several
   series which clean up the implementation:
	- "refine mas_mab_cp()"
	- "Reduce the space to be cleared for maple_big_node"
	- "maple_tree: simplify mas_push_node()"
	- "Following cleanup after introduce mas_wr_store_type()"
	- "refine storing null"

 - The series "selftests/mm: hugetlb_fault_after_madv improvements" from
   David Hildenbrand fixes this selftest for s390.

 - The series "introduce pte_offset_map_{ro|rw}_nolock()" from Qi Zheng
   implements some rationaizations and cleanups in the page mapping
   code.

 - The series "mm: optimize shadow entries removal" from Shakeel Butt
   optimizes the file truncation code by speeding up the handling of
   shadow entries.

 - The series "Remove PageKsm()" from Matthew Wilcox completes the
   migration of this flag over to being a folio-based flag.

 - The series "Unify hugetlb into arch_get_unmapped_area functions" from
   Oscar Salvador implements a bunch of consolidations and cleanups in
   the hugetlb code.

 - The series "Do not shatter hugezeropage on wp-fault" from Dev Jain
   takes away the wp-fault time practice of turning a huge zero page
   into small pages. Instead we replace the whole thing with a THP. More
   consistent cleaner and potentiall saves a large number of pagefaults.

 - The series "percpu: Add a test case and fix for clang" from Andy
   Shevchenko enhances and fixes the kernel's built in percpu test code.

 - The series "mm/mremap: Remove extra vma tree walk" from Liam Howlett
   optimizes mremap() by avoiding doing things which we didn't need to
   do.

 - The series "Improve the tmpfs large folio read performance" from
   Baolin Wang teaches tmpfs to copy data into userspace at the folio
   size rather than as individual pages. A 20% speedup was observed.

 - The series "mm/damon/vaddr: Fix issue in
   damon_va_evenly_split_region()" fro Zheng Yejian fixes DAMON
   splitting.

 - The series "memcg-v1: fully deprecate charge moving" from Shakeel
   Butt removes the long-deprecated memcgv2 charge moving feature.

 - The series "fix error handling in mmap_region() and refactor" from
   Lorenzo Stoakes cleanup up some of the mmap() error handling and
   addresses some potential performance issues.

 - The series "x86/module: use large ROX pages for text allocations"
   from Mike Rapoport teaches x86 to use large pages for
   read-only-execute module text.

 - The series "page allocation tag compression" from Suren Baghdasaryan
   is followon maintenance work for the new page allocation profiling
   feature.

 - The series "page-&gt;index removals in mm" from Matthew Wilcox remove
   most references to page-&gt;index in mm/. A slow march towards shrinking
   struct page.

 - The series "damon/{self,kunit}tests: minor fixups for DAMON debugfs
   interface tests" from Andrew Paniakin performs maintenance work for
   DAMON's self testing code.

 - The series "mm: zswap swap-out of large folios" from Kanchana Sridhar
   improves zswap's batching of compression and decompression. It is a
   step along the way towards using Intel IAA hardware acceleration for
   this zswap operation.

 - The series "kasan: migrate the last module test to kunit" from
   Sabyrzhan Tasbolatov completes the migration of the KASAN built-in
   tests over to the KUnit framework.

 - The series "implement lightweight guard pages" from Lorenzo Stoakes
   permits userapace to place fault-generating guard pages within a
   single VMA, rather than requiring that multiple VMAs be created for
   this. Improved efficiencies for userspace memory allocators are
   expected.

 - The series "memcg: tracepoint for flushing stats" from JP Kobryn uses
   tracepoints to provide increased visibility into memcg stats flushing
   activity.

 - The series "zram: IDLE flag handling fixes" from Sergey Senozhatsky
   fixes a zram buglet which potentially affected performance.

 - The series "mm: add more kernel parameters to control mTHP" from
   Maíra Canal enhances our ability to control/configuremultisize THP
   from the kernel boot command line.

 - The series "kasan: few improvements on kunit tests" from Sabyrzhan
   Tasbolatov has a couple of fixups for the KASAN KUnit tests.

 - The series "mm/list_lru: Split list_lru lock into per-cgroup scope"
   from Kairui Song optimizes list_lru memory utilization when lockdep
   is enabled.

 "Bindings:

   - Enable dtc "interrupt_provider" warnings for binding examples. Fix
     the warnings in fsl,mu-msi and ti,sci-inta due to this.

   - Convert zii,rave-sp-wdt, zii,rave-sp-pwrbutton, and
     altr,fpga-passive-serial to DT schema format

   - Add some documentation on the different forms of YAML text blocks
     which are a constant source of review comments

   - Fix some schema errors in constraints for arrays

   - Add compatibles for qcom,sar2130p-pdc and onnn,adt7462

  DT core:

   - Allow overlay kunit tests to run CONFIG_OF_OVERLAY=n

   - Add some warnings on deprecated address handling

   - Rework early_init_dt_scan() so the arch can pass in the phys
     address of the DTB as __pa() is not always valid to use. This fixes
     a warning for arm64 with kexec.

   - Add and use some new DT graph iterators for iterating over ports
     and endpoints

   - Rework reserved-memory handling to be sized dynamically for fixed
     regions

   - Optimize of_modalias() to avoid a strlen() call

   - Constify struct device_node and property pointers where ever
     possible"

Pull devicetree updates from Rob Herring:
 "Bindings:

   - Enable dtc "interrupt_provider" warnings for binding examples. Fix
     the warnings in fsl,mu-msi and ti,sci-inta due to this.

   - Convert zii,rave-sp-wdt, zii,rave-sp-pwrbutton, and
     altr,fpga-passive-serial to DT schema format

   - Add some documentation on the different forms of YAML text blocks
     which are a constant source of review comments

   - Fix some schema errors in constraints for arrays

   - Add compatibles for qcom,sar2130p-pdc and onnn,adt7462

  DT core:

   - Allow overlay kunit tests to run CONFIG_OF_OVERLAY=n

   - Add some warnings on deprecated address handling

   - Rework early_init_dt_scan() so the arch can pass in the phys
     address of the DTB as __pa() is not always valid to use. This fixes
     a warning for arm64 with kexec.

   - Add and use some new DT graph iterators for iterating over ports
     and endpoints

   - Rework reserved-memory handling to be sized dynamically for fixed
     regions

   - Optimize of_modalias() to avoid a strlen() call

   - Constify struct device_node and property pointers where ever
     possible"

Pull vdso data page handling updates from Thomas Gleixner:
 "First steps of consolidating the VDSO data page handling.

  The VDSO data page handling is architecture specific for historical
  reasons, but there is no real technical reason to do so.

  Aside of that VDSO data has become a dump ground for various
  mechanisms and fail to provide a clear separation of the
  functionalities.

  Clean this up by:

   - consolidating the VDSO page data by getting rid of architecture
     specific warts especially in x86 and PowerPC.

   - removing the last includes of header files which are pulling in
     other headers outside of the VDSO namespace.

   - seperating timekeeping and other VDSO data accordingly.

  Further consolidation of the VDSO page handling is done in subsequent
  changes scheduled for the next merge window.

  This also lays the ground for expanding the VDSO time getters for
  independent PTP clocks in a generic way without making every
  architecture add support seperately"

Pull interrupt subsystem updates from Thomas Gleixner:
 "Tree wide:

   - Make nr_irqs static to the core code and provide accessor functions
     to remove existing and prevent future aliasing problems with local
     variables or function arguments of the same name.

  Core code:

   - Prevent freeing an interrupt in the devres code which is not
     managed by devres in the first place.

   - Use seq_put_decimal_ull_width() for decimal values output in
     /proc/interrupts which increases performance significantly as it
     avoids parsing the format strings over and over.

   - Optimize raising the timer and hrtimer soft interrupts by using the
     'set bit only' variants instead of the combined version which
     checks whether ksoftirqd should be woken up. The latter is a
     pointless exercise as both soft interrupts are raised in the
     context of the timer interrupt and therefore never wake up
     ksoftirqd.

   - Delegate timer/hrtimer soft interrupt processing to a dedicated
     thread on RT.

     Timer and hrtimer soft interrupts are always processed in ksoftirqd
     on RT enabled kernels. This can lead to high latencies when other
     soft interrupts are delegated to ksoftirqd as well.

     The separate thread allows to run them seperately under a RT
     scheduling policy to reduce the latency overhead.

  Drivers:

   - New drivers or extensions of existing drivers to support Renesas
     RZ/V2H(P), Aspeed AST27XX, T-HEAD C900 and ATMEL sam9x7 interrupt
     chips

   - Support for multi-cluster GICs on MIPS.

     MIPS CPUs can come with multiple CPU clusters, where each CPU
     cluster has its own GIC (Generic Interrupt Controller). This
     requires to access the GIC of a remote cluster through a redirect
     register block.

     This is encapsulated into a set of helper functions to keep the
     complexity out of the actual code paths which handle the GIC
     details.

   - Support for encrypted guests in the ARM GICV3 ITS driver

     The ITS page needs to be shared with the hypervisor and therefore
     must be decrypted.

   - Small cleanups and fixes all over the place"

<title>powerpc/perf: Add perf interface to expose vpa counters</title>

<id>176cda0619b6c17a553625f6e2fcbc3981ad667d</id>
<content type='text'>
To support performance measurement for KVM on PowerVM(KoP)
feature, PowerVM hypervisor has added couple of new software
counters in Virtual Process Area(VPA) of the partition.

Commit e1f288d2f9c69 ("KVM: PPC: Book3S HV nestedv2: Add
support for reading VPA counters for pseries guests")
have updated the paca fields with corresponding changes.

Proposed perf interface is to expose these new software
counters for monitoring of context switch latencies and
runtime aggregate. Perf interface driver is called
"vpa_pmu" and it has dependency on KVM and perf, hence
added new config called "VPA_PMU" which depends on
"CONFIG_KVM_BOOK3S_64_HV" and "CONFIG_HV_PERF_CTRS".
Since, kvm and kvm_host are currently compiled as built-in
modules, this perf interface takes the same path and
registered as a module.

vpa_pmu perf interface needs access to some of the kvm
functions and structures like kvmhv_get_l2_counters_status(),
hence kvm_book3s_64.h and kvm_ppc.h are included.
Below are the events added to monitor KoP:

  vpa_pmu/l1_to_l2_lat/
  vpa_pmu/l2_to_l1_lat/
  vpa_pmu/l2_runtime_agg/

and vpa_pmu driver supports only per-cpu monitoring with this patch.
Example usage:

[command]# perf stat -e vpa_pmu/l1_to_l2_lat/ -a -I 1000
     1.001017682            727,200      vpa_pmu/l1_to_l2_lat/
     2.003540491          1,118,824      vpa_pmu/l1_to_l2_lat/
     3.005699458          1,919,726      vpa_pmu/l1_to_l2_lat/

Pull 'struct fd' class updates from Al Viro:
 "The bulk of struct fd memory safety stuff

  Making sure that struct fd instances are destroyed in the same scope
  where they'd been created, getting rid of reassignments and passing
  them by reference, converting to CLASS(fd{,_pos,_raw}).

  We are getting very close to having the memory safety of that stuff
  trivial to verify"

* tag 'pull-fd' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/viro/vfs: (28 commits)
  deal with the last remaing boolean uses of fd_file()
  css_set_fork(): switch to CLASS(fd_raw, ...)
  memcg_write_event_control(): switch to CLASS(fd)
  assorted variants of irqfd setup: convert to CLASS(fd)
  do_pollfd(): convert to CLASS(fd)
  convert do_select()
  convert vfs_dedupe_file_range().
  convert cifs_ioctl_copychunk()
  convert media_request_get_by_fd()
  convert spu_run(2)
  switch spufs_calls_{get,put}() to CLASS() use
  convert cachestat(2)
  convert do_preadv()/do_pwritev()
  fdget(), more trivial conversions
  fdget(), trivial conversions
  privcmd_ioeventfd_assign(): don't open-code eventfd_ctx_fdget()
  o2hb_region_dev_store(): avoid goto around fdget()/fdput()
  introduce "fd_pos" class, convert fdget_pos() users to it.
  fdget_raw() users: switch to CLASS(fd_raw)
  convert vmsplice() to CLASS(fd)

Pull vfs file updates from Christian Brauner:
 "This contains changes the changes for files for this cycle:

   - Introduce a new reference counting mechanism for files.

     As atomic_inc_not_zero() is implemented with a try_cmpxchg() loop
     it has O(N^2) behaviour under contention with N concurrent
     operations and it is in a hot path in __fget_files_rcu().

     The rcuref infrastructures remedies this problem by using an
     unconditional increment relying on safe- and dead zones to make
     this work and requiring rcu protection for the data structure in
     question. This not just scales better it also introduces overflow
     protection.

     However, in contrast to generic rcuref, files require a memory
     barrier and thus cannot rely on *_relaxed() atomic operations and
     also require to be built on atomic_long_t as having massive amounts
     of reference isn't unheard of even if it is just an attack.

     This adds a file specific variant instead of making this a generic
     library.

     This has been tested by various people and it gives consistent
     improvement up to 3-5% on workloads with loads of threads.

   - Add a fastpath for find_next_zero_bit(). Skip 2-levels searching
     via find_next_zero_bit() when there is a free slot in the word that
     contains the next fd. This improves pts/blogbench-1.1.0 read by 8%
     and write by 4% on Intel ICX 160.

   - Conditionally clear full_fds_bits since it's very likely that a bit
     in full_fds_bits has been cleared during __clear_open_fds(). This
     improves pts/blogbench-1.1.0 read up to 13%, and write up to 5% on
     Intel ICX 160.

   - Get rid of all lookup_*_fdget_rcu() variants. They were used to
     lookup files without taking a reference count. That became invalid
     once files were switched to SLAB_TYPESAFE_BY_RCU and now we're
     always taking a reference count. Switch to an already existing
     helper and remove the legacy variants.

   - Remove pointless includes of &lt;linux/fdtable.h&gt;.

   - Avoid cmpxchg() in close_files() as nobody else has a reference to
     the files_struct at that point.

   - Move close_range() into fs/file.c and fold __close_range() into it.

   - Cleanup calling conventions of alloc_fdtable() and expand_files().

   - Merge __{set,clear}_close_on_exec() into one.

   - Make __set_open_fd() set cloexec as well instead of doing it in two
     separate steps"

* tag 'vfs-6.13.file' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/vfs/vfs:
  selftests: add file SLAB_TYPESAFE_BY_RCU recycling stressor
  fs: port files to file_ref
  fs: add file_ref
  expand_files(): simplify calling conventions
  make __set_open_fd() set cloexec state as well
  fs: protect backing files with rcu
  file.c: merge __{set,clear}_close_on_exec()
  alloc_fdtable(): change calling conventions.
  fs/file.c: add fast path in find_next_fd()
  fs/file.c: conditionally clear full_fds
  fs/file.c: remove sanity_check and add likely/unlikely in alloc_fd()
  move close_range(2) into fs/file.c, fold __close_range() into it
  close_files(): don't bother with xchg()
  remove pointless includes of &lt;linux/fdtable.h&gt;
